I personally loved this set! I tried out a new salon that had just opened in my small college town, and even though the nail artist had never done the “aura” nail style before, she ate this look. Now, she’s grown so much and is able to do any style ppl ask for!! #nailinspo #nailedit💅🏾

What I wanted: Birthday Nail Edition
A new nail structure and it was pricey but I’m turning 30 so figured it’s a good time to splurge on nails if any time is good. Anyways, this time I went with a moonstone and gold theme since my favorite my June birthstone is moonstone and gold looks better on me than silver. I love them! #nails
